Rhonda works with you to give you the tools, techniques and support to understand the situation, and find healthier ways of coping with life’s stresses and challenges. Because it is solution-focused, it is short term. Most issues are successfully resolved within 4-6 sessions.

Mission Statement

My specialty is giving short-term counseling with long-term results.

By empowering clients and offering support and encouragement in a safe and non-threatening environment, I help clients
learn the tools and skills necessary to overcome personal issues and challenges and find peace and security within themselves.

My approach is to counsel and support my clients and to enable them to recognize and build on their own strengths and skills.

I also guide and encourage the development of healthy coping and communication skills that will assist in the development of a positive self-image and self-confidence.

My goal is to instill in my clients the belief that a healthy person is one who feels in control, is resilient and able to handle life’s challenges. I will leave you feeling empowered and in control of your life.

Rhonda is an incredible therapist. She is attentive, compassionate, and a great listener. I always feel supported and understood during our sessions. I love how she proposes tools, strategies, and techniques to help me manage and overcome my issues. She often uses a touch of humor to help me diffuse my anxiety and provides me with a much needed reality check. I look forward to my sessions with Rhonda as I learn so much about myself and how to cope with all the difficulties and stresses of life. With Rhonda’s help I feel like I’ve grown into the person I’ve always wanted to be: someone strong, confident, caring, and ready to handle whatever life throws at me.
